Signs your child may have an anxiety disorder:

It’s perfectly normal for your children to feel anxious occasionally. They may be nervous about an upcoming test at school, worried about who they’ll sit with at lunch, apprehensive about a change in their routine or stressed about a situation at home. But, anxiety in kids and teenagers doesn't always look how you'd expect.

Anxiety disorders in children often develop after stressful life changes or events, like the loss of a loved one or switching schools. Though they can be hereditary, it’s rare to see a purely biological mental health condition in children, especially younger children. Much of the time, what we see going on in kids are responses to their environment.

Anxiety in children and teens has increased dramatically due to Covid-19.

If you notice your child exhibiting symptoms of anxiety for 2 weeks or more, you may want to consult with a professional.

CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) is useful in treating anxiety, but it does take patience. Sometimes it can take up to 6-8 weeks to see improvement.

I specialize in CBT, so if you have any questions or concerns about your child please feel free to message me or leave a comment below 👇👇
